[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 79418, member: 1049"] We ear tag, one tag in each ear, in the spring and We tattoo in the fall so we have some adequate "ear" to work with. We also always use a nose restraint to keep their heads still for that split second when you need them to be still. We found that if we tattooed in the spring when calves were 2 months of age we didnt have enough ear AND by fall half of them had ripped their ear tags, and their ears badly, thus ruining their tattoo. At least by Fall we have more ear surface and a choice of at least one good, un torn, ear to tattoo that will be absolutely readable. [/QUOTE]
